Hanged Herself:

MRS. Betsy Stevens. wife Of
William Stevens, an old citizen oil
this county, committed suicide by
hanging at her home, near the
village Of Camdenville, yesterday.
She was about eighty years old,
'and she and her husband were
known to everybody in the county
almost as AUNT Betsy" and
"Uncle Bill" the old gentleman
being an elder in his church and
otherwise prominent in his COM
munity. They were generally con-
sidered well-to-do, having about
800 acres Of land and other prop
erty, and no children Of their own,
though they have raised several
adopted children. The cause of
the suicide is said to be brooding
over a supposed trouble about the
title to the land Of her husband.
1t seems that several years ago
everything Mr.. Stevens had was
decided to DR.. Thomas H. Hud-
son, then of Frankfort, now Of
Kansas City. Lately, 1T seems,
the old people wanted it decided
back, and this not being done,
the old lady brooded over it till
her mind became unsettled. 1t
was charged at the time the prop
erty was decided away that it was
done to evade some security debts
for which Stevens was liable, but
this he stoutly denied. "-Courier-

pears in any paper which does
more cruel injustice than is done
to our friend, DR.. T. H. Hudson,
in the above. DR.. Hudson owns
a farm which lies along by the side
of Mr.. Stevens land, which Mr..
S. has used, together with any
stock the doctor had on it as his
own. In fact, Mr.. S. treated DR..
Hudson as though he was his son,
and was treated by the DR.. as
though he was really his father.
For reasons best known to him
self, Mr.. Stevens decided his land
to DR.. Hudson, without any solicit
tation from him whatever. DR..
Hudson has always been willing
and ready to deed the land back
to his more than father, and has
so stated to him both before and
since his return from Kansas City.
Mrs. Stevens health has been
bad for long time, and had so
impaired her mind as to produce
the sad result above given. She
had once, previous to her marriage
and once in 1870, when in like
condition, attempted suicide.

Gov Bodwell is quite as sincere Temperance
man as Gen. Dow. Gen. Dow thinks if the
law had been made as he wanted it rumsel-
ling would ere this have disappeared from
the State. We beg leave to dissent from
this view. Excessive penalties-or penal
ties considered by great many of the peo-
pie TO be excessive--are never potent in re-
pressing the crimes against which they are
directed. Forgery in England used to be
punishable with death, and death, too, in
the most horrible of forms. But forgery
was not suppressed by it. Conviction by
jury is one of the absolutely Indispensable
steps in the punishment of the rumseller.
and Gen. Dow knows very well that on the
great majority of juries there are certain to
be men who do not look upon rumselling as
the gigantic crime of crimes" As the pen
alties Increase the reluctance of these men
to find verdict Of guilty increases also, and
much stronger evidence is required to con-
vince them of rnmseller's guilt when the
| penalty is Imprisonment than when it is
simply fine The terror which Gen. Dow's
penalties would strike to the hearts of the
rumsellers would, we are inclined to think,
be greatly alleviated by the hope which
| would be so often realized as to make it
something very substantial, of escaping
them altogether.
The truth is that Gen. Dow when he ex-
poets total suppression of rumselling by
law expects too much. No crime has ever
| been totally suppressed by law Murder,
| and rape, and arson, are OF frequent occur
renee, Notwithstanding the laws against
| them are exceedingly stringent As long az
there is a demand for rum somebody will
take the risk of supplying it, There is no
doubt, however, that the suppression Of the
business can be made more thorough than it
is now. But what is needed to do that is not
more law, but more vigorous enforcement
of the existing law. And temperance people
can accomplish much more by stirring up
public sentiment to compel the local officers
to enforce the present law than by shouting
| for additional lapiSIation

There is great row brewing among the
Democratic brethren in Massachusetts,. 1t
has its origin in the attempt of the smelling
committee" to smell about the Boston post
office, and the vigorous resistance of Gen.
Corse, the postmaster. Corse seems not to
have been satisfied with simply ignoring the
committee, as did Collector SalUonstall. but
his belligerent disposition impelled him to
strike back. His opinion of the smellers and
their sympathizers is given in an interview
published in the New York Herald, and it is
far from complimentary Somebody who is
referred to as the "Boss" which Police Com
missioner Macguire thinks means him is
charged with Office brokerage and some other
performances not very creditabe to gentle
man of Mr.. Macguire's professions. Natu-
rally Mr.. Macguire is wroth and is planning
terrible revenge He threatens to bring suits
for libel and for SANDER against Corse, and
to demand an investigation by the city gov
eminent OF which he is an officer, for the
purpose of compelling Corse to back up his
charges or back out of them. Corse seems
10 De man whose yalor is much superior to
MS discretion, for it is provable against him
that ne has declared that he was going to Sc
lect the next Democratic State committee
ana that there were to be no Mics on II a
remark that would bury him beneath SO
deep an avalanche Of votes in Boston that he
could possibly have no resurrection in this

Concerning Liquor Legislation.

When Gen. Neal Dow speaks of temper
ance people," as he does in another column,
he means not the great mass of people who
are the friends of that cause, but himself
and the very few who agree with him. In
his sense it is true that the Temperance
people" asked for legislation of the last Leg
islature which they did not get But it is
not true that any legislation requested by
sne great mass of temperance people was re-
Iusea. indeed great many temperance
people and quite as sincere and devoted
temperance people too as the Hon. Neal
Dow, thought there was no need of the addi-
tional legislation of last winter. This wos tho
view Gov Bodweh took in his message, and

The Boston Post yesterday published a
supplement containing collection of very
interesting and valuable essays relating to
the organization of our present political sys-

at the time that organization was formed
and the changes that have since taken place
in our political, social and industrial life.
The writers of these essays are Judge Cham

The falliblity of the testimony of people
as to things seen is sometimes very remark
able. McNeally, the young Saco thief, has
been seen in several places widely separated
by people who are positive that they saw
him whom they thought they saw. Had Nc
Neatly visited all the places in which people
have thought they saw him he would have
made ajourney more crooked than the flight
OF night hawk; whereas he probably went
for parts unknown about as "the crow flies"
woman in Boston was the last to recog-
nize him, according to yesterdays dispatches
But unfortunately those dispatches also
brought proof that people don't always see
what they think they see. When the dead
body was found the other day in the canal at
Lewiston two witnesses swore positively
that 1t was all that was mortal of one John
Wing, whom the Opponents knew we'll New
ertheless the said John Wing was at that
time and is now alive in Augusta, with not
even thought Of jumping into the Lewiston
canal, we hope. Such mistakes are general
ly amusing, but case is conceivable where
in the man or woman who is so positive that
he or she has seen a thing or person that
really has not been seen might make lots of
trouble

Gov. Porter, the assistant Secretary of
State, resigned his place, it appears, on ac-
count Of serious disagreement with Mr..
Bayard 1t seems that our consul at Odes-
sa refused to certify certain invoice Of
goods because the shipper would not furnish
power of attorney as agent of the New
York firm to whom the goods were to be
sent. The matter was referred to the State
department and Secretary Bayard got an
opinion from Secretary Fairchild on hypo-
thetical case, in which the circumstances
were similar, but not the same. On receiY-
ing reply Mr.. Bayard, without consulta-
ton, wrote despatch to the consul ordering
him to certify the invoice, and sent the des-
patch to Gov. Porter for his signature The
latter promptly refused to sign it, knowing
the circumstances and the law, and after ex-
pressing his opinion pretty forcibly, notified
his superior that he intended to resign. He
accordingly did so, and in response to the
Presidents expression Of regret and desire
for his reconsideration of the act, told him
plainly he could not enter the department
again while Mr.. Bayard was at its head.
There was disagreement also between
them as to the right Of the Secretary to ap-
point fish commissioners, but that had moth
ing to do with his resignation.

The Republican State convention of New
York very properly refused to adopt Rev.
Howard Crosby's resolution that '.rhe Re
publican party believes the cause of temper
anee to be best served by system of high
license or tax, and pledges itself to do all in
its power to secure such system for this
State" A large number of New York Re-
publicans believe the cause of temperance to
be better served by prohibition than by high
license, so the first part of the resolution
would be manifestly untrue. Then in the
Legislature of New York last winter the
Republican party, believing high license
good step in the direction of subduing the
liquor traffic, showed its principles by pass
ing high license bin and tax bill, both of
which the Democratic Governor Hill vetoed.
II appears then that while the first part of
Dr. Howard Crosby's resolution was untrue,
the second part was useless.

The performances of the Democratic city
government of Boston have even been CON-
pared with the doings of the old Puritans by
people who believe that the old town is 60
ing to the dogs. But it is worthy of note
that the mayor, who patronized John l..
Sullivan's show, has also taken interest in
history as well as prize fighting. On Satur-
day next, at sunrise, by order of the mayor
the bells of Boston will be ruDg at sunrise,
noon and sunset to commemorate the CEN
tennial of the ratification of the federal con-
stitution by Massachusetts,. 1t is too bad
that before this commendable order of the
Mayors can be carried out the Board Of AL
dermen must once more bring the city of
culture into ridicule. On the opening of the
Superior Court in Boston Wednesday fore
noon the judge threw out five jurors on the
ground that during their selection so many
aldermen deserted their seats to see street
parade as to invalidate the proceedings An
inoldnate passion for shows is the curse of
the city fathers of Boston.

The enforcement of the prohibitory law of
Maine depends but in small degree on the
fearlessness and zeal of the State or munich
pal officials. Its main dependence is ON the
popular feeling In every city OF town of
Maine where there is an honest and earnest
sentiment against the sale of liquor, men do
not despise the prohibitory law.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
Gardner Journal
Speaking Of accidents TO people where rail-
roads cross highways at grade, the Portland
PRESS suggests that instead of having the
warning sign boards placed at the side of the
track, where they can be seen but a short
distance, better way would be to have
them placed several rods from the crossing,
so that travellers would have notice, and be
on the lookout for trains before getting upon
the track. And it is good suggestion. too.

Recovering Voices.

The fact was mentioned last week
that Mr.. Cantrell who had not spo.
ken above whisper in sixteen years
had recovered his voice. Mr.. Irwin
Alexander, who lives over on the
Keowee had not been able to speak
above a whisper since the war, until
short time ago. His voice has been
rs suddenly and unaccoumtably re-
stored.
In" this connection tho following
from West Virginia, under date June
9th will be read with interest:
"Abe Bradford, n teamster for the
ParEersburg Mill Company, lost the
power Of aTsech seveGsQr eight years
aga1and has never since heon able to

mules uptown when the animals be,
came obdurate and refused to draw
fhe load. The driver became very an
CRY, his face wrinkled and twisted in
speechless rage for a minute, when to
the surprise Of the bystanders and as,
tonishrnent Of Bradford he found
himself suddenly giving utterance to
a volley Of objurgations which did
perfect Justice to the occasion. II q
paoxysin Of rage he found himse.t
suddenly repossessed of the power Of
